Known Issue: Black Screen With Visible UI: Some Intel users may find that when DirectX 10 is enabled, only their UI is visible and the rest of their screen is black. If this occurs, we recommend you disable DX10, enable DX9, and restart the game client.

New Reincarnation UI

Reincarnation is seeing many changes, including a new UI. When you speak with the Life-Shaper, the below UI will appear:

After selecting the type of Reincarnation you would like to investigate, you will be brought to a page that gives more information on that form of Reincarnation. NOTE the box near the bottom of the Reincarnation UI: Drag the proper Heart of Wood from your inventory to this box. Also note that you do not need to have a Heart of Wood to view the next page (which has more information available).

The next page lists the Requirements and Rewards for the selected kind of Reincarnation. Any requirement that is not met is highlighted in red. If you meet all of the requirements (including placing the proper Heart of Wood in the box in the previous page), you can continue to the confirmation page.

The final page confirms your previous choices. As with previous Reincarnation, you have to type in your character name and click on “Confirm” to continue with the process. Once you have confirmed your Reincarnation choice, you can log out to Character Select to recreate your character.

While Heroic TR, Iconic TR, and Lesser Reincarnation follow the above process, Epic Reincarnation has an added step. After selecting Epic Reincarnation on the first page, the next page provides more information for Epic Reincarnation. NOTE the “Select Sphere” drop-down menu near the top of this page. You must select a Sphere to continue.

Selecting a Sphere will bring up the Epic Past Life Feats available for that Sphere. If you would like to view the Epic Past Life Feats for the other Spheres, you can click on the drop-down menu again to change your selection. Remember that your Sphere choice also determines which Sphere’s Karma will be spent.

So I'd like to make a suggestion regarding Karma and gaining Karma in off destinies:

As it stand right now, as I understand it, you need 6 million Karma per sphere to ER. And if your main destiny is in another sphere, your going to have to earn that in a off destiny. That's 54 million XP for 3x PL's in one sphere. That's astronomical. Running in an off an off destiny. That's just not pain, it's torture.

How about if we have all of our ED's completely maxxed XP-wise we are allowed to choose a sphere to gain karma in while being able to stay in our main destiny - even if it's in another sphere. When you compare the strength of the ER past lives in their current iterations I think this is only fair.

Is it just me? I can't find anywhere that says how much karma you need to actually ER a sphere. (all my toons have maxxed ED's)

It would be useful to know for possible future Epic Lives for me.

is it the cap of 6million or less than that required?

Epic Reincarnation requires spending 6 million Karma, which is also the Karma cap for each sphere. (These could change in the future, but this is the current intention for launch with U20.)

Note: This is slightly more than 3 Epic Destinies.

Note: This is a bit less than the amount of XP gained from level 20->28.

Note: If you have any destiny XP capped when U20 launches, the corresponding Sphere will be be set to 6 million Karma. This is on the theory that after capping out that destiny you could have continued playing in that destiny while potentially earning Karma.

It's just me or there is no option for a reincarnation from 28 to 1 (or 15 if iconic) gaining an epic PL and heroic PL both?

That's correct. It's something we might consider adding later. However, you achieve the same effect by performing an Epic Reincarnation, and then immediately performing Heroic True Reincarnation afterwards.

Got it. So a more direct question then:

Are you expecting a Fighter who uses Legendary Dreadnought as his main ED, to level from 20-28 gaining 6 million XP/Karma in Unyielding or Exalted to earn the divine sphere EPL?

And if so:

One of the largest complaints about leveling ED's is running in off destinies. What was the reasoning behind then incorporating that feature and expanding on it on a much larger scale knowing it's very unpopular?

do you lose karma when you TR? if so how do you gain it back if you have your EDs all maxxed?

You gain Karma even when the ED is XP maxxed. And yes, you lose the karma associated with the ED Sphere you are taking the past life from. You do not lose progres in ED when you ER, you only lose Karma progress in that Sphere.
